Honestly May 10, 2007 PuffNStuff (Colorado) 38 out of 61 found this review helpful
These other reviewers are so concerned about "indoctrinating" - it's no worse than "Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!", which is the Republican equivalent - but read the reviews for it - no one's concerned for the children in any of those reviews. There's nothing wrong with the book - if these people had read it, it just talks about good moral values - and equates them with the Democrats. If good morals, Republican or Democrat, is "indoctrinating" children, then perhaps that's the problem with today's youth.
My guess is that the reviewers just heard Rush Limbaugh bad mouth the book and they rushed to Amazon to review it.
Love it! August 31, 2007 gamer65 (Rockwall, Tx) 26 out of 47 found this review helpful
This beautiful book teaches the young ones that only Mommy Government can solve their problems. That's why Mommy Government is always "making sure" that you do whatever Mommy Government asks, or Mommy Government will put you in prison.
But don't worry, Mommy Government will solve all your problems and is always there with another suckle at the government teat. One day soon, Mommy Government will control everything, just like she does in North Korea, and a wonderful, risk-free utopia will blossom where every day is a happy ending.
This book is the perfect antidote for children who are threatened with a society full of dangerous temptations like Walmart, freedom of speech, or even (gasp!) religion. When your child asks about these things, sit down with this book and re-indoctrinate your budding Marxist on the wonders of Mommy Government.
If the book doesn't work, well, you can always threaten them with a trip to a gulag.

Spells out the character of being a Democrat in a positive way (without ever sinking to being negative). Being a Democrat is like being a mommy.Why Mommy Is a Democrat
My values exactly! January 25, 2009 Meryl W. Rice (Tennessee) 5 out of 13 found this review helpful
I love this little book. It's really well-done. It outlines in simplest form many of the reasons why I decided to become a Democrat after being a Republican for almost 40 years. The best thing about the book is that while extolling the virtues of Democrats, it doesn't down Republicans. Some Republicans who have posted here say they believe the same things, and I say to them---then you ought to be a Democrat! If you examine the policies of the Republicans and the legislation they support, you will very quickly figure out that for them, it's every man for himself. I much to prefer to live in a world where we are indeed our brother's keeper, where we give our brother a hand up, and we go to war only as a last resort. It is not only the view of most of us who call ourselves Democrats, it is the view of most of us who call ourselves Christians.
I've also read Why Daddy is a Democrat, and it is equally as good a read. Share this with your kids. Like the Bible says-- teach a child the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. Thanks Jeremy Zilber for creating these delightful books.
Lighten Up!!! October 21, 2007 responder (IL) 7 out of 17 found this review helpful
I think that people are taking this sort of thing too seriously. Lighten up and laugh, even if it is at yourself. This isn't a kids' indoctrination book. It is a satire for adults to laugh at, whether they be Democrats or Reublicans. Actually, I think it is funnier for Republicans, to tell you the truth. I think people should just learn to not be so serious about these things!!!
